What to Know

Critics Consensus

A disappointing misfire for director George Clooney, Suburbicon attempts to juggle social satire, racial commentary, and murder mystery -- and ends up making a mess of all three.

The most dazzling trait of "Suburbicon" is the inanimate. Anything living and organic is witless and half-baked. Go to Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review 03/17/2022

Damon, Moore, Jupe, and Isaac are all excellent, though their performances have been sunk by the uneven script and Clooney's inability to replicate the Coens' balance of several playful, sometimes contradictory modes at once. Go to Full Review Fletcher Powell KMUW - Wichita Public Radio 07/21/2021

Thomas S Apr 5 Enjoyable with a few laughs See more Blu B 08/13/2024 Not really boring but just not really well put together at all. I'm not sure what Clooney was going for here. A satire on middle class life? the 50's? Racial Relations? A Hitchcock mystery? All of the Above? Regardless it just never comes together at all. It's also very unfocused. Sometimes it's from the perspective of the boy, than the parents, than the racial relations, and sometimes a little of all of it. The music also plays nonstop and is way too overused. It's so boring and gets on your nerves. The lighting in this is very dull and lifeless as well. The acting is alright and is the one thing in this that isn't subpar but no one has any real chemistry. None of the dialouge is that snappy either. There isn't any tension at all in this either but it's somehow never boring either. Skip This. I really don't know what this is. See more Dmitriy M 02/26/2024 well this is the case when I am totally disagree with critics I liked it pretty much Amazing scenes of riding bicycle or playing ping pong :) See more Georgan G 01/25/2024 3 & 1/4 stars. This unusual film attracted me as I love the Coen brothers' writing. The plot follows hypocrites in their violence, hatred, selfishness & ignorance. The most amusing part was the son walking in on paddling of step-mom/aunt. See more Stoner J @Stoner 12/03/2023 This flick is pretty awesome. Mostly cuz all the right people get the axe in the end, well, minus the kids uncle See more Felix T 10/18/2023 I can't believe the low ratings for this movie. It was spot on when it comes to the American Con from all. They weren't mean, it was just another day in that decade. It isn't the caliber of Fargo, but it has some of the same humor at how silly humans can be when they pursue what they perceive as happiness. What a mess. See more Read all reviews
